Help Needed - Take Home Folders

We usually meet on Thursday mornings to assemble and distribute information sheets for the students of our school to bring home in their 'Take Home Folders'. Please sign up for the dates that you
can come and help out. In the past year, assembling the documents took between 15 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how many documents we received and the number of volunteers we had.

Fundraising

Information about Bailey Fundraising: The Bailey PTA raises important funds for the school, to be used for our students and classrooms. We have a variety
of ways to fund raise. Here are our fundraising options for 2018-2019 – you don’t have to participate in all of them, but we would really encourage every family to be sure to
participate in at least some of them since the funds are important for our school and help pay for the approved PTA expenses for classroom and building uses:

Fall Fundraiser:Cherrydale/Chip Shoppe Fundraiser (wrapping paper, gifts, food items). We’ve done this fundraiser for a number of
years and it’s quite successful. (makes up about 20% of our income budget). Historically, the average raised per participant in the Fall Fundraiser was about $50 for our
school.

Spring Fundraiser:Apex Fun Run (makes up about 35% of our income budget). Historically, the average raised per participant in the Spring
Fundraiser was also about $50

Smaller fundraisers through the year:

Book Fairs

Community Events (Wendy’s Night, Culver’s Night, etc, where a portion of the sales go
directly to the Bailey PTA)

Direct
Donations:If you’d prefer to not participate in the other fundraiser or just want to supplement your
fundraising efforts, you are always welcome to give a direct donation to the Bailey PTA. That way, 100% of your dollars will go directly to our Bailey PTA income budget and 100% will be
used on our approved budgeted expenses.

PTA Membership
